US Air Force officer charged for anti-Bush graffiti

DENVER (Reuters) - A U.S. Air Force colonel has been charged with
painting obscenities on parked cars bearing pro-
President Bush bumper stickers, police said on Wednesday.
Lt. Col. Alexis Fecteau, who supervises 41 full-time and part-time
reservists at the National Security Space Institute in Colorado
Springs, Colo., is suspected of vandalizing 12 cars at Denver
International Airport over a six-month period, Denver police
spokesman Sonny Jackson said.
"Lieutenant Colonel Fecteau has been charged with one count of
felony mischief and six misdemeanor counts related to the
vandalism," Jackson said.
Fecteau, who could not be reached for comment, is scheduled to be
arraigned later this month.
Police said they received numerous complaints dating back to
December 2004 from people with cars bearing Bush or Bush-Cheney
campaign bumper stickers that their vehicles had been vandalized.
Police set up a bait car with a pro-Bush bumper sticker, parked it
at the airport with a surveillance camera, and waited. On July 1,
the camera recorded a man spray-painting over the bumper sticker
with an expletive.
Investigators traced the license plate of the suspected vandal to
Fecteau, 42, who turned himself into police last week and was
released after posting a $5,000 bond.
